A flying boat!
The new Dornier S-Ray 007 is based on one of the first successful Dornier flying boats. It has been modernised as an amphibian multi-purpose aircraft to handle the land and the sea.
With its S-Ray 007 Dornier Technologies is celebrating the European debut of its new single-engined amphibian, which is a forerunner in the new generation of seaplanes built using the latest plastics technology.
Another attractive exhibit is the Cirrus SR22, one of the latest single-engined, propeller-driven aircraft which can carry four people. The fuselage and wings are made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic. In an emergency the entire aircraft can be brought safely back to earth on a parachute.
